ADVISING

All BSW & MSW students in the School of Social Work are required to participate in mandatory advising every semester, including summer sessions. Students cannot register for classes until they have met with an academic advisor. During the advising session the student and the academic advisor review the student's progress through the program, discuss course pre-requisites, and develop an academic plan for completion of degree requirements. The advising session is also utilized to inform students of deadlines and to explain the petition process in case a student wants to request a curriculum variance. Academic advisors are also available for walk-in hours during specified times. These times are set aside for simple questions that do not require an individual advising appointment. In addition to the academic advisors, all BSW students admitted to the professional program and all MSW students are assigned a faculty advisor. The role of the faculty advisor is to provide career guidance, serve as an advocate, and help students problem solve.
